Photoshop Retouching Breakdown

One thing that sets architectural photography apart from real estate photography is the insane amount of retouching that can go into a single photo. Whether that is composition flashed/strobed shots, adding models, or removing distracting elements from the scene, an architectural photographer may spend 2-3 hours on a complicated shot.

 

We finetune the colors, the shadows, and remove objects with pixel-level perfection, since our work is frequently printed in magazines, or hung as artwork on a wall for years.
